| Seasoned Member  Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: New Richmond, WI   | Paintball gun release history timeline? Here's a project that might be too big of an undertaking, making a list of every paintball gun in order of their initial release. I had to correct someone today who believed that the Spyder was the first stacked tube blowback  For the good of the next generation, a chronological list must be done!

| Seasoned Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: New Richmond, WI | Hmmm...I did some double checking. Vintage rex lists the release year of the VM as 93, which is TWO YEARS AFTER the release year of the F1 and the Promaster. So have my assumptions been wrong, or is this a typo?

| MCB Member  Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Southern Maine | THe method I use is rec.sport.paintball references pmi3- July 1991 F1- Feb 1991 Promaster- Jan 1992 Not an exact science since the first mention on rec.sport.paintball often refers to prototypes and rumors, but its still the best system around. The F1 did predate the Promaster, but the Spyder is a near exact ripoff of the Promaster, not the F1 as often thought. nick
